Metal Halide Perovskites for photonic applications: from fundamentals to devices

Metal halide perovskites form a class of soft solid-state semiconductors that have, due to their extraordinary optoelectronic properties, gained renewed interest over the past decade from an ever-increasing and diverse community, ranging from world-class renown academic institutions to industry.

Scope:

Ten years after their breakthrough in photovoltaics, metal halide perovskites are still the topic of intense research with an ever-growing scope. Over the years, also their remarkable light emission properties have become an intense field for research and applications on their own. Therefore, this symposium aims at providing to materials scientists an interdisciplinary platform to share state-of-the-art knowledge in the field of all-inorganic and hybrid perovskite bulk, thin film, colloidal and nanostructured emissive materials.

This symposium aims at bringing together experimentalists and theoreticians who are investigating various fundamental processes in perovskite nanomaterials, from the synthesis, surface chemistry and optical characterization to theoretical modelling and light emitting applications. It provides a forum for discussing the latest scientific discoveries in these exciting new research areas bridging material science with optoelectronics and quantum technologies.

Hot topics to be considered:

• Nanocrystal assemblies
• Weak to strong confinement regimes
• Quantum and Dielectric confinement
• optical/NLO/pump-probe/ultrafast/terahertz spectroscopies
• ultrafast diffraction/ultrafast dynamics
• Quantum (optical) effects, quantum light sources
• Many-body physics (Exciton, multi-excitons; fine structure, exciton-phonon; exciton-photon)
• Weak to strong coupling regimes
• Perovskites in optical microcavities (polariton condensation, polariton simulator,...)
• Coherent/Collective phenomena/correlated physics
• LEDs; optical modulators; optical switches; lasers; Li-Fi; photodetectors (not PV!), sensors ...
